Now that Halloween is (somewhat) over, you know as a society, we skip right to the holiday season.
One of the best parts of the holidays is giving gifts to your family, friends, and other loved ones.
You may not know what to get for your people this holiday season but there is a chance to start holiday shopping early.
KalamaTopia is back this year. So, if shopping local is your mission this year, this is the perfect chance to stock up on presents and/or stocking stuffers.
Started back in 2014, KalamaTopia has now been established as a holiday tradition for the City of Kalamazoo.
According to the website, it is essentially a happy hour outdoor holiday market.
“KalamaTopia is a Friday happy hour of celebrating all things made in Kalamazoo County. Embracing the cold, there will be tents, heaters, and hot and cold (adult) beverages brewed right here in Kalamazoo.”
KalamaTopia turns the streets of Kalamazoo into a shopping heaven.
“This event will feature artists and merchandise vendors (almost like a Chriskindlemart style) that specialize in anything made in Kalamazoo County as well as Michigan. It is designed as an expo where vendor booth tables will line the Kalamazoo Mall from East Michigan Avenue to Eleanor Street.”
If that doesn’t get you out of your house this weekend, this just might do the trick.
The entire event is free for any and all people to attend.
KalamaTopia is this Friday, November 4th from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM at the 100th block of North Kalamazoo Mall.
For the full vendor list and even more information and details about KalamaTopia, you can check out their official website or their Facebook page.
When you can’t think of one more material thing to get someone on your holiday shopping list this year, why not give them the gift of something fun and new to go do? Much like the “12 Days of Christmas” here are 12 of some of our favorite ideas around Michigan that would make great gifts.
